I can tell you from experience that organizing a bachelorette party is not so simple.

First, you have to get the girls together and KNOW how many are coming. Then you should call the local transportation companies in order to schedule your ride. Ten, twelve, fourteen…twenty-four passengers—the cost all depends on the amount of people you have. Before you book the limo/bus I strongly suggest collecting money from all the people, assuming the understanding is that the guests are contributing to those expenses. However, that’s just my experience.

Of the utmost importance, however, is to NEVER listen to the bachelorette (or the stupid MOH—in this case, myself) when she says she does not want any traditional bachelorette gear. Trust me. Always have it on hand—just, JUST! in case.

You’re going to want snacks, but if you are hosting the party at your house and it is in the summertime, DO NOT COOK anything! Don’t overcook either, because if you’re only having appetizers, chances are they’ve already eaten and aren’t going to want to munch too much.

Music is important, too! My suggestion, though, is to always have a backup plan. My favorite way to create a playlist for someone is to steal their music. I like to immerse myself in their favorite tunes and go from there. However, always have a backup plan for playing the music.

Once all the hard work is over, make sure to show your lovey a wonderful time at a great bar. For Spiffy, we went to Bell in Hand in Boston. For Sissy’s we went to the Landing in Newport. At Sissy’s, we played some games to get the drinking started, hence the “Mel’s Spell” and underwear clothesline. She had to take a shot for every pair she incorrectly matched to a guest.

The fauxtobooth trend hadn’t really caught on in SoMA at the time. Spiffy and I were the only ones who took advantage. She thought it looked like the setup from our old high school dances, hence the goofy pose.

“Queen of the Peen” was supposed to be the title of whoever could make the best playdough…well, you get the picture.

Just remember N.E.V.E.R start drinking when you have spelling to do!
